Solar eclipse of March 7, 1598
Template:Short descriptionScript error: No such module "Unsubst".Script error: No such module "Solar eclipse". A total solar eclipse occurred on March 7, 1598 (25 February 1597 using the Old Style date).[1] A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide.
Visibility
Totality was visible from the British Isles with a diagonal track from Cornwall in the south-west to Aberdeen in the north-east of Scotland.
It was observed from Germany by Tycho Brahe.[2]
